me that we needed to tell Marvin’s parents. Oh boy, Marvin’s mom Jessi was so furious. She is a gynecologist, she encountered many different stories. And haters from the block told her I was a fast girl. Me and Marvin have been together for a year and some change now. And we have had some infidelity yes plenty of it, but I was convinced that he would get it together. But he didn’t, and I have had some long teary nights. Mrs. Jessi, was my dawg. I could tell her and talk to her about anything. For her birthday I would buy her, her favorite perfumes. Mrs.
Jessi was upset about our mistake, but could relate because Marvin’s oldest brother she had at 16. That was more of the reason she preached to us, because she said it was extremely hard. But we didn’t listen, we did what we wanted to do. So, as time passed I got bigger. Marvin kept cheating and his ways just didn’t change. He argued, we fought, and I found myself losing everything for him. Once, I even targeted a girl with my fists, 6 months pregnant fighting for a boy that wanted to simply live his life. My life was over, I had a responsibly. I walked around school big and tired. Some days it was hard to keep pushing but I knew I had to. I took some of my senior classes my junior year so that things would be easier. In the middle of my senior year, I had a little boy. His name was Major. I was obsessed with him. He was everything I wished for. I was in labor for 3 days and ended up having to have a C section because I got stuck at 3 cms. It was dreadful, but everyone was their with me, even Jade. I came home and had to be on strong medicine for a while, which caused me to become addicted. Marvin was around lot, he basically lived with me for the first three months helping me with Major. I commended him for that and was forever thankful for the nights I got to sleep
in. But as sure as his name was Marvin Johnson, he was still doing whatever he wanted to do. I was over it right after I had mason. I knew, that I had to find a way out of this toxic relationship. I didn’t want my son to think it was okay for him to put his hands on any woman. I also didn’t want him to think it was okay, to let a woman abuse him. And for those reasons I had to go. It took everything in me to let go. I cried, but I pieced myself together and became the strong Niah mama raised. It took me about two months, he didn’t think I could do it. But I did I defeated the hurt in my life. Now standing tall with my diploma in one hand and my son in the other, I was ready to take down the world and build an empire for myself and my son.
